FFS Friday: Erin Friday of Our Duty
June 7, 2024
FFS (Female Free Speech) Friday honors women and girls who are speaking out about the harms that “gender identity” poses to women and girls as a sex class. FFS Friday posts are free and shareable. If you would like access to content that delves deeper into the movement to protect the sex-based rights of women and girls and to stop the abolition of sex, please consider a paid subscription.
Last week’s FFS Friday honored Julie Lane, who hilariously told the California state legislature that on behalf of a “coalition of sane people,” she opposed California AB1955, which would let schools keep secrets from parents when children request the use of opposite sex facilities, name change, and pronoun change.
Following on that, today’s FFS Friday honors Erin Friday. Erin is a fierce advocate for women and children. Often, her work focuses on the rights of parents whose children are caught up in confusion about the material reality of sex and the rights of parents in general.

She had a guest post up yesterday on Reality’s Last Stand titled “Sen. Scott Wiener Calls Parents ‘Nasty’ for Opposing Secret School Gender Policies.” It’s about Wiener’s support for AB1955.
She states:
On June 3, 2024, California senator Scott Wiener, the Golden State’s most prolific anti-family, anti-parent, and pro-gender-transition-of-kids lawmaker, held a press conference in San Francisco to kick off Pride Month (the month formerly known as June). During the event, Wiener gleefully announced the introduction of Assembly Bill 1955 (AB1955), a bill he supported along with the 12 members of the LGBTQ Caucus. This bill requires schools to keep secrets from parents about their gender dysphoric children. Wiener likened a child’s announcement of being gender dysphoric—experiencing acute distress with his or her sex traits—to a child’s “coming out” as gay or lesbian. But this is an inaccurate comparison. On the contrary, a child’s statement that he or she is “transgender” is nothing but a cry for help. And if AB1955 succeeds, that help might never come.
…
Sen. Wiener also criticized parents who demand transparency from schools regarding their children’s use of new names and pronouns that do not correspond to their sex. He labeled such parents as “nasty people” for insisting on honesty and opposing secretive interactions between educators and students.
What is with men’s use of the word “nasty” to describe women? Readers will, of course, remember that one DJT used it to refer to Hillary Clinton back in 2016.
The day after the 2023 convention of Women’s Declaration International USA (WDI USA), I and several other women stood outside the steps of San Francisco’s City Hall to speak out for the rights of lesbians. Shortly before our speaking event started, a group of complete weirdos started chanting “KARA DANSKY, YOU ARE NASTY.” I just stared at them, thinking, “People! That doesn’t even rhyme! Do better!” A one and a half minute video of our speak-out can be viewed here. That video is worth a watch if you want to see just how sexist and homophobic the gender zealots are.
As I said on X, it basically went like this:
Us: We support lesbians!
Them: YOU’RE A F*CKING FASCIST!
Us: We’re also against rape culture!
Them: F*CK YOU!
Erin was with a group of women from WDI USA who were in Oakland in September 2022 to protest the admission of convicted triple murderer Dana Rivers in the women’s prison. During that event, someone hit me with an umbrella and threw a raw egg directly at my head. Other women present had pies thrown in their faces.
Earlier this year, she worked relentlessly on a ballot initiative in California called Protect Kids CA, which would prohibit schools from socially “transitioning” a student without parental notice or consent; return sports, bathrooms, and changing rooms to be based on sex rather than “gender identity”; and ban “gender”-related puberty blockers, wrong-sex hormones, and surgeries. The initiative fell short of the number of signatures required to be placed on the ballot, but it did collect an impressive 400,000 signatures.
Erin, today’s FFS Friday is for you. Keep fighting!
Erin's ballot initiative fell short because most people didn't know about it, and or have access to signing. Erin is a true hero. It's amazing how leaders are made due to circumstance and situation. I wouldn't worry about THE AUTHORITARIAN DEATH CULT screaming at women that they are, "Nasty." Insult is all they have. They're a weak virtue signal who's time is almost up.
Erin Friday is yet another fantastic choice for FFS Friday. To have amassed 400,000 signatures the first time out, with, as I understand it, very limited infrastructure or funding, is an astonishing achievement. Erin and the others who worked so hard on this initiative have built a tremendous foundation on which to build.
